North Reading is approximately 13 minutes from our Stoneham shop on Pine Street. We see customers from North Reading, Reading, Wilmington, Andover, Lynnfield, and the wider Middlesex County area every week. Most North Reading driving runs through Main Street (Route 28), Park Street, and Route 62, which shapes the wear pattern on the vehicles we service.
A lot of pickup and SUV traffic in North Reading thanks to the Route 28 commercial corridor. We keep heavier-duty hub assemblies, larger calipers, and tow-rated trans fluid on hand.
